Post Captain Master Index Pt 3 Shore Raids Chap...

Jun 20 2015 10:23 AM | Kenny Noe in GQ3 News

Ahoy Mates... we're back with the third and last installment of the Master Index for Post Captain... Shore Raids.

ODGW will be releasing Post Captain on or about July 16th 2015.

While we wait for the ship to come to port we're checking out the Master Index of Chapters in Post Captain. This index covers the Basic Game, Advance Rules and Shore Raids. The index in its entirety will be one of many free Bonus files available to gamers who have registered their rules on ODGW web site.

The last portion of the Master Index is on Shore Raids. Shore raids are a time honored means of extending sea power ashore. Warship detachments can land suddenly, without warning, to capture supply and weapon caches, destroy signal stations, storm shore batteries and isolated forts, and assist cutting out expeditions. Repeated raids in divergent locations frustrate an opponent and tie up valuable military resources needed elsewhere.

Listed below are the chapters you can expect to see for more adventurous captains..

Age of Sail Clear Acrylic Ship Bases

Jun 06 2015 10:05 AM | Kenny Noe in GQ3 News

Announcing new Age of Sail clear acrylic ship bases with etched wakes...

ODGW is pleased to announce new additions to our line of clear acrylic ship bases. These bases are designed with a different wake pattern more inline with a ship underway with wind power rather than mechanical power.

There will be FOUR new bases added to accomodate Sloops, Cutters, up to Man of Wars. The bases are sized 4" x 1.5", 4" x 1.25", 2.5" x 1", and 2" x 1".

ODGW is launching a new series of age of sail bases to add to their inexpensive ready-to-use clear acrylic ship bases. These are available in a variety of sizes for sailing miniatures designed by Jim O’Neil. Ship bases are particularly important for sailing miniatures as they tend to be unstable with their tall, proportionally heavy pewter masts and sails. In addition, bases protect miniatures from getting too close together and damaging projecting yards and bowsprits.

The ODGW bases are clear, so they blend in with what ever gaming surface being used and each features etched bow waves and wakes. Corners are rounded to avoid snagging miniatures on the gaming surface during movement. Simply glue the completed miniature on the base and you’re ready to go. Add a small paper rectangle with the vessel’s name or code in the wake to aid identity. No need to paint the sea surface or dry brush the foam. What could be easier? Spend your valuable time detailing your ships, not finishing bases.

These will be available by Historicon (July 16th) to order from our on line store.

Pictures will be posted as soon as we get them in.
